Candle Questions

We have extreme pride in our candles and how they are sold is a direct representation of our company. If you own a store, you may qualify to sell our candles by submitting a Wholesaler Application. We have pretty strict guidelines that must be met for you to sell our candles. (Ex: type of store, minimum amount of candles to be sold, store location.) We do not currently approve of retailers who sell only through catalogs, the Internet or by direct sales. In other words, we require you have a retail store location and a Tax ID number.

If you're a merchant that meets these basic requirement, please go to our Wholesaler Application page and fill out the form. Once you submit this form, we will contact you within 3 business days.

All of our candles are well equipped to help with masking odors. We mix only the finest fragrances with the smoothest of waxes to ensure that the fragrance level at the bottom of a Circle E Candle is as strong as it is when the candle is first burned. Some candles may be stronger than others, but they all give out a wonderful smell to help with those pesky odors.

Our most popular fragrances change with the season, like everything else! So we've made our most popular fragrances a special category in our candle shopping section! Just click on candle shopping at the top of any page and click on the "Most Popular" link! This is updated frequently, so check often to see if your favorite shows up!

Yes. For best results in burning your candle, keep wick trimmed to 1/4 inch, allowing the wax pool to extend to the outside rim before extinguishing the flame. Wax has a "memory" so at subsequent burnings, the candle will melt out to the edge and burn evenly. Many of our candles are uniquely designed to allow the candle to set on its lid while burning. Always place on a heat and stain resistant surface. If glass becomes chipped or broken, do not continue to burn. Remove any foreign objects in jar before relighting. Never extinguish by placing the lid on a burning candle. Do not continue to burn when the wax content is less than 1/2 inch from the bottom of the container. Never leave a burning candle unattended. The seller and/or manufacturer is not responsible for misuse. Now sit back, relax, create that special mood and ENJOY!

Circle E Candles puts a lot of love and care into each and every candle we make! We've been doing this for 12 years and we don't ever plan on using anything but the very best in materials. We research long and hard before developing any new fragrance and only use the most intense, aromatic oils possible. We take these fine fragrances and carefully blend them with our special high quality waxes for optimum burn time and fragrance. We then pour them under the strictest guidelines into premium containers to make Circle E Candles. The result of all of this, along with other details that are not overlooked, is the very best candle on the market. We go that extra mile because quite frankly, we enjoy the satisfaction that comes with doing our very best.

This is a precautionary safety measure for you! Usually when the candle is this low, most of the wax has been used and the candle and the jar glass gets extremely hot. For your safety, don't ever pick up the candle jar when it is lit, especially if it is this low and make sure you place the candle on a heat resistant countertop.

Sometimes we stop creating certain candles because it wasn't a very popular fragrance. So to make room for our new fragrances, we retire that fragrance. Here at Circle E Candles, we are always trying out new, incredible scents. So give a new fragrance a try…maybe it'll be your next favorite candle! (You can see a list of all our candles on our Fragrances Page.)

When the wax has hardened, gently remove the larger pieces of wax. After you have removed the larger pieces of wax, get a clean paper towel and place it over the wax spill. Using an iron on a low setting, or a blow dryer on its lowest heat setting, warm the paper towel. The wax under the towel will begin to melt and soak up into the towel. Blot the wax and repeat as necessary until wax is removed. We highly recommend consulting the fabric manufacturer's instructions before trying this trick.

If you place your candle in direct sunlight or it is exposed to strong lights, all candles will fade in color. To keep your candle looking its best, be sure to store your candle in a cool, dry place and keep out of direct sunlight.

Follow the instructions for removing wax from fabric/carpet. Be sure to use a dull object when removing the larger chips of wax so you won't ruin your wood finish. Once you warm the paper towel over the wax spill, just wipe away the wax from the surface.
